Lucky Number Slevin!

Yes! After the long hiatus, guess what? The next Friday is the big day! About 7 days to go, insya Allah. You may be wondering why haven't there any updates all this while. Well, mostly it's due to my long frustrations towards the many parties involved in our wedding preparation. Don't get me wrong. Not from family / friends. But they are from the vendors themselves!

1. D'Renjis : You know how I was frustrated with nonsense-delay from D'Renjis, but I HAD to proceed with them since I've paid RM600 upfront! Maybe to some of you, it's not a big deal, but for me, it's a huge amount! So after some du'a and not-too-high hope, I just go for the outfit they've prepared for me. It turned out oh-kay. Seriously, I'm not too head-over-feet for it. But I think I can live in it for one night. Only some minor adjustments I'm praying that Teteh could make it, 2 days before the big day. You think it's possible? Let's pray together. *pray pray*
2. SACC : After I started dealing with Tinkris, I'm quite satisfied with her tolerance. Only that, I'm still upset that of all the items they've included in the quotation, they just HAVE to leave out one, which is the backdrop of the main table. So I got the dais, decorated main table, arch at the entrance, etc... BUT the backdrop? Adoi! But ... Alhamdulillah, I met my long time schoolmate, Karl, who apparently just started his own Bridal business. So he saved my backdrop! insya Allah. Thanks, Karl from Briday Sanctuary!
3. RinsSuzana : We opt for them for Bertandang outfit. He wants to have a brand new suit. I go for the ready-made dress. 1st visit, we confirmed the outfit, his body measurement taken, paid deposit. Few weeks after, they called him to come another time to take his body measurement AGAIN because they lost the 1st one. OK. After few weeks, they called asking for measurement AGAIN! He started to piss already. But soon after, they called him up telling that they've found the previous one. OK. So we went for his fitting. At first, the suit colour was totally off. It was yellow instead of off-white. The intern-lady gave us craps but after insisting that it was not the right suit, they finally realized that it actually was not. The laundry store accidentally switched the suit with some other's. OK. So, the right suit came after about 30 minutes later. The shoulder was way too broad. Pants was loose. Chest was huge. Totally a suit that was NOT tailored according to his 2-times-measurement! We requested for the suit to be altered anyhow and they agreed to it. Until last week, when a guy called him introducing as an outsourced-designer for RinS, he actually wants to make amend by creating another brand-new suit for him. So we went to RinS AGAIN, on the 7th of Syawal, to take another measurement by the designer, and let's just hope everything turns out good less than 7 days later.

We've been very patient through out this head-aching experience, I must say. But at this very moment, I'm looking forward to just get everything over and done with cause I can't wait to enjoy my beautiful new life with the cutest almost-bald guy alive! Huhu. Hope to update another entry or two just before next Friday. But if it did not happen, see you after!

Still in pieces

This is the current progress. A lot of things need to be cut, wrapped, written, stamped, and many others need to be ... done!

Ribbons cut into 25cm length, with trimmed edges.

One of my mega projects. Only 1/6 is complete. Wish me luck!

Credits to Yadina & Hubs for bringing these back safe!

These are the favours for my reception. For the akad ceremony, it will be much easier cause there won't be DIY stuffs. Only put everything in the small pouch. :) Will do that once my 700pcs is done!

Ok, back to work!

Ciao.

Bali favours~

Oh, forgot to update about my received package from Bali, Indonesia. Weee.

Last week, a dear friend went for a holiday trip with her friends to Bali. I knew about the plan few months ago, while I was thinking how to ship my orders from Bali to here. And when she announced on her trip to Bali, it was like a light just *tingggg* in my head, so I asked for her kindness to help me bring back my orders from Bali. Soon when she said yes, I quickly made arrangement with the PIC in Bali and chose the items I wanted. And after months of waiting anxiously (in case, something bad happen, item not as shown in the picha,etc), I kept silent to myself until last Thursday, when my darling friend texted me early in the morning, "Dah selamat sampai. Bila nak datang ni?" Weeee. I quickly grabbed my carkeys and dashed to LCCT to pick up the items. The wait has not ended yet, because I was driving alone, and I could not open up the boxes till I reach home. Soon as I went in the house, I brought all the 4 boxes in and snatched open one by one. After checking all of them, only I smiled weeeeeee-ily (?) and showed to LadyBoss about my Bali-catch. Huuu.

You want to know what is it?

The 4 boxes (with 4 small boxes in each)

Box #1 : Big and small round soaps

Box #2 : Small square soaps

The rest of them : Many variants of fragrances

FYI, these are all the favours for my reception. As for the packaging? I'm still considering few ideas but think I'm gonna stick with a simple package which can be done myself, and no need to burden other people. Will get the raw materials soon and once it's done, I'll surely upload the final product!

If you're interested with these cute soaps as favours too, just go to BaliSoap, the PIC (in my case, I dealt with Ms Yuli) will be very helpful and assist you through out your order. Have fun!
